Argyrotaenia altera is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Carchi Province, Ecuador.

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is greyish brown, but brown in the basal half of the wing. The markings are dark brown, the proximal edges finely edged with white. The hindwings are brown and slightly paler than the forewing.

Etymology

The species name refers to the specific difference to Argyrotaenia dichroaca and is derived from Latin altera (meaning different).[2]

gollark: One of them, I think?

gollark: I don't do coffee (although it apparently is fine health-wise, unless in vast quantities) or "soda", so meh.

gollark: What is a doctor meant to *do* about it exactly? I would hardly want to be stuck on drugs forever to avoid procrastinating, or something.

gollark: I *definitely* do the procrastination thing, not sure what to do about it really.

gollark: And the longer term your planning the more external factors will affect things, and those are very hard because it's nigh-impossible to predict future technology or politics or anything.
